A Moment of Reckoning

What time is it?
Mr. George Miller
It's time for you to do what I tell you to do...
Evan at 7
Wrong answer, fuckbag. This is the very moment of your reckoning. In the next thirty seconds, you're gonna open one of two doors. The first door will forever traumatize your own flesh and blood.
Mr. George Miller
What's happening? How are you doing this?
Evan at 7
It'll change your daughter from a beautiful child into an empty shell. Whose only concept of trust was betrayed by her own sick pedophile father. Ultimately... it'll lead to her suicide. Nice work, Daddy.
Mr. George Miller
Who are you?
Evan at 7
Let's just say you're being closely watched, George. Your other option is...to treat Kayleigh like, say, like a loving father treats his daughter. Sound okay to you, Papa?
Mr. George Miller
Yes.
Evan at 7
Listen close then, fuckbag. You screw this up again, I'll flat-out castrate you. What you need to do is discipline your son Tommy cause the kid is one sadistic pup. One last thing...
Kayleigh at 7
Don't ever touch me again!
[yelling at her father]
Mr. George Miller
I won't.
